Southeast Rail Extension

The Southeast Rail Line includes 19.1 miles of the popular RTD light rail system. It extends from I-25/Broadway to Lincoln Avenue in Douglas County, with an additional connection along I-225 from I-25 to Parker Road.

The Southeast Rail Extension was accepted into the project development phase of the federal New Starts program. The RTD Board of Directors authorized a $207 million extension of the Southeast Rail Line at its regular meeting on July 15, 2014.

The Southeast Rail Line Extension will make the Southeast line even more successful than it is today. The current plan is to extend light rail transit service to the new RidgeGate Parkway Interchange by providing the following:

Kiss-n-Ride station at Sky Ridge Medical Center

Kiss-n-Ride station at Lone Tree City Center

New end-of-line station at RidgeGate with a 1,300 space Park-n-Ride facility

When the extension is completed residents will be able to travel on one train from the RidgeGate station via the I-225 Rail Line through Aurora to Peoria Station and connect to the commuter train to Denver International Airport; or stay on one train and travel to Union Station in downtown Denver.
